It will stay above other windows also in Icewm (the original does not).
But if you move a window behind it, the background is not refreshed, you must right-click, to update the view.
But this is just the same problem as with the original wbar in other windowmanagers.

I changed XWin.cc, line 173 (in the end):

Code:

Atom prop = XInternAtom(display, "_NET_WM_STATE_BELOW", True);

Code:

Atom prop = XInternAtom(display, "_NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE", True);

Create a backup of your original /usr/bin/wbar, then extract the attached archive in /usr/bin/.

Hey all.
Would it be possible to have two wbars running at the same time?
My idea is to have a main wbar either at the top or the bottom with all of the applications in it, and then have a second wbar at either the sides or top/bottom that has the mountable drives in it. Both of these would have to run at the same time and would probably need two different configuration files, but I'm curious as to if it would work or not. It would reduce the need for me to have to keep moving all my icons everytime i log on and would look rather cool as well.
Just an idea but I would love an answer.
Thanks

yes, it is possible
go to the command line, type wbar --help
i'm pretty sure there is a option -config (or something like that)
this allows you to have different configurations, like different icons
you can have more than one wbar running, you just have to specify different positions when you run them with the -pos option

Thanks for your help, I've managed to get two wbars running at the same time, however they both run off the same .wbar file, and therefore both have the same icons etc. How can I get it so that I've got different icons in the second set?
Thanks again

You need to specify a different config file for the second instance of wbar.

Open an rxvt window, and type "wbar --help" for pointers.

here's something different, I compiled it on 2 series, but should work for others.
Its called tablaunch, same Idea as wbar, but this one auto hides and uses Tabs, not icons, lol
anyways its really small, easy to change the configs also, located in root/.tablaunch (hidden file)
to start it, open a terminal and type,
tablauncher
then scroll to the top of the page and it should be there.

Yeah sure, its small enough,lol 14kb, the screenshot is probably bigger,lol
also to adjust the location edit /usr/local/bin/tablauncher
you can also just copy that file to /root/startup to autostart it or copy the text into /root/.xinitrc near the bottom, just above exec jwm

I'm currently using Fatdog 112 and have downloaded and installed Aragon's xfce 4.61 pet. I've also installed Wbar and all the necessary dependencies.

I've been trying for the past couple of days to get something configured correctly.

When I have Wbar start from the startup folder in root, it start correctly, the way I want it to and with the sleep command so that I don't have that black background that I have to right click on to make the black go away. However, I do have the icons and command set up in Wbar for logout and the Xfce setting manager. Currently I get an error message when trying to use the logout icon. The message is something to the effect that something is not communicating with the session manager. When I try to use my icon to access the xfce settings manager, the screen pops up, but changes like trying to change the background or wallpaper doesn't take effect until I restart my computer.

Now, when I take my Wbar out of startup and run the command directly in terminal, everything works perfectly with no errors. I've tried putting the commands into the xfce autostart tab in setting manager. It works well, except that I get that black background and I have to right click to make it disappear. The sleep command doesn't seem to work in the autostart tab.

I've also attempted different entries in my .xinitrc folder as suggested in the various posts in the forum, all without luck.

Anyone have any ideas?

BTW: I'm really looking forward to a new NOP from Gray!Last edited by CRF on Thu 24 Sep 2009, 22:28; edited 1 time in total
